This shoe is a nice style mix between business and casual. The slip-on fit provides snug comfort that I was able to wear all-day long the first time out of the box while the patent leather finish gave it a professional business style that's appropriate to wear with either a suit or slacks and a sportscoat. Unlike the issue with my prior Original Grand Patent Leather Wingtips purchase which didn't "breathe" after a full day's wear, these Lenox Hill patent leather shoes are fine (I attribute this to the full leather sole and flex material on the sides of the upper). One minor comment - definitely use a pair of good shoe trees for these shoes since I have noticed a slight ripple in the upper on the top of the foot after several wears. The patent leather shine makes this ripple more noticeable than a traditional leather wax finish. Using shoe trees made the ripple diminish between wears. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and will probably look for other Lenox Hill variants next time I'm shopping for more Cole Haan shoes.
